Often served at Halloween, these muffins symbolized of the souls of the dead releasing to the other side. In some Catholic countries they were symbolic of a soul leaving Purgatory for the glories of Heaven. While they have fallen out of favor they are a delightful memory from Halloween’s past.

Even though it is in retrograde Uranus is right now as close to Earth as it can be. We know from mythology that Uranus has trickster energy – completely unpredictable and somewhat destructive. Because Uranus rules electricity, lightening and many astrologers are pointing to his hand in the devastating wild fires in California. I prefer to work on the more personal level, however. Where Uranus is transiting in your chart right now is an area is one that can use a jolt. It is always best to come out ahead of Uranus – you want to make the change thatRead More

This week is the time to do some “fall cleaning” – on yourself. Right now huge Jupiter which has just moved into Scorpio, the sign of deep and sometimes difficult transformation, is conjunct the Sun and Mercury. What have you been wanting to say – what words and thoughts are bottled up and causing you angst? This is the time to unplug the cork and let your true words fly. While this is happening, Venus and Mars are also dancing together – doing their traditional male/female salsa – trying to seek balance. Not to be outdone, the highly emotional MoonRead More

Last week – Mars and Venus made a rare conjunction in the sign of Virgo. Virgo transmits the energy of the sacred divine in the most practical of forms. Virgo, the Earth goddess, has a direct line to the divine but she can only utilize it here on Earth. Mars epitomizes masculine energy and Venus is the sacred feminine. This conjunction address the need to balance the opposites in your life – sacred/mundane, masculine/feminine. This comes at a time of earthly balance between summer and winter – life and death.

There is nothing better than Scorpio loves than a good secret – or should I say, how to ferret out a good secret? With the power of mighty Jupiter, Scorpio is primed to reveal those hidden unknowns that we all do our best to keep from the world. Don’t be surprised if people seem a bit too nosy. There will be attacks on your privacy and interpersonal relationships will become more intense. This is a great time to define clearly your personal boundaries. Be careful too that you are not being too intrusive of others. Scorpio is the signRead More

Astrological Bucket Lists

Ever since the movie “Bucket List” came out in 2007, that phrase has inundated our lexicon. There are book bucket lists, travel bucket lists, food bucket lists; you name it. However, I have yet to see the most important bucket list mentioned anywhere. That is an Astrological Bucket List!

I always tell my clients that there is just no sense to going through all of the aggravation and energy of reincarnating just to repeat the same lessons. You did not want to go back to school every year and repeat the same grade. Why repeat the same life? Doesn’t make sense, does it?

By examining any one or all of these aspects in your chart:

A. Your ascendant or rising sign – your personality indicator

B. Your North Node, your marker for the lessons your soul is seeking to learn this time around

C. Your Pluto placement, the planet of transformation

I will create a personalized bucket list for you to get the most of your life.

This is the only bucket list you really need!

Are you ready to experience all of the joy of knowing you are fulfilling your astrological goals at once? Jump in today with a full analysis of your rising sign, Pluto and North Node bucket lists designed just for you and get a head start at leading your life in conjunction with the universe!

According to Joan, “Modern Man takes for granted the Sun and how its energy propels and sustains life. Moon energy controls the tides yet we ignore the other more personal influences it has on our bodies and lives. We have lost the art of appreciating and reading the stars as messengers from the god and goddess. Humanity has disconnected from its source and consequently suffers emotionally, spiritually and physically.”
